Find your fit

Is this the set for you?

For controlled detail

You enjoy the finishing touches: fine lines, clean edges and the small areas that need precision.

Why this set fits

Every brush in this set is made for the last five minutes: liners, spotters and small rounds that keep a point.

For adding detail to a set you own

You already have the big brushes and want the small, sharp ones that most sets skimp on.

Why this set fits

These sit beside any set as the detail end of your kit, without doubling up on wide brushes.

For returning to painting

You are ready to get back to creating, but do not want to rebuild your supplies from scratch.

Why this set fits

A small, exact set that makes careful work feel easy again, backed by our 60-day guarantee.

The details

Ten Taklon detail brushes for consistent fine lines, sizes 5/0 through to 8.

  • Set of 10: sizes 5/0, 3/0, 2/0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8
  • Specialist Taklon synthetic hair, designed to give a consistent line every time
  • Ergonomic handles for a more defined touch and reactive application
  • Presented in our Artist’s Brush Boutique packaging

Ten graded sizes means the line weight is a choice rather than a compromise, you pick the brush that matches the mark instead of making one brush do everything. Taklon keeps its point through acrylic and washes clean, so the tenth painting behaves like the first.

Featured in The Times. One of our top sellers, and they need to be held to appreciate how well they sit in the hand.

60-day guarantee & free returns

You have 60 days after receiving your order to request a return, and returns postage is free: we send you a prepaid label, so sending something back costs you nothing.

Delivery

Free UK delivery on orders of £50 or more.

UK standard £3.95, 2 to 4 working days. UK priority £7.95, 1 to 2 working days. EU £7.95, 5 to 10 working days. Rest of world £10.95, 8 to 12 working days.

Care & longevity

Rinse brushes in lukewarm water straight after painting, reshape the point with your fingers, and dry them flat or bristles-up. Treated this way, a good brush lasts years, not weeks.

The boutique behind it

We are a small family boutique, not a warehouse. Everything we sell is something we would happily paint with ourselves. If it does not meet that bar, it does not go in the box. Questions? Ask us, we paint too.

    Is this right for a complete beginner?

    Yes. Most of the painters in our gallery started from nothing, and every kit ships with a printed step-by-step guide written for exactly what is in the box. If a product suits one level more than another, its page says so plainly.

    How do the free gifts work?

    Spend £50 for free UK delivery and the free Canvas Roll Bag, and £60 for the free Finesse Set of 5. Everything is added to your basket automatically, there is no code to enter.

    How fast is delivery?

    Orders are dispatched within 24 hours. UK standard arrives in 2 to 4 working days (£3.95, free over £50), priority in 1 to 2 (£7.95). We ship to the EU and worldwide too.

    What if I do not get on with it?

    You have 60 days to change your mind, and we send a prepaid return label, so sending it back costs you nothing. No quibbles, no restocking fees.

    Which mediums do the brushes suit?

    Each product page says which mediums it suits, watercolour, acrylic or oil. Sable carries water beautifully; our firmer synthetics stand up to acrylic and oil. If you are unsure, email us what you paint and we will point you right.

    Is it gift-ready?

    Our sets arrive in boxes worth keeping, no wrapping needed. If you would rather they choose, a gift voucher lets them pick their own.
